Looking for pants for petites?

[annice22]

I have a clothing question: Where can I find petite hip hugger pants? I also want to make sure that the pants legs are long enough, sometimes petite pants/jeans are not long enough?
Does anyone know of a good store either online or at the mall? I was reading the new glamour magazine and for people who are my height (5'2) I should wear petite pants because they will fit better.

I've found that if I buy what is known as "capri's" for people of normal height, they fit me perfectly as pants.

There are a few good catalogs for petite people. I have the websites at home...I'll edit back later tonight.

I'm about 5'2" and petite length pants from Express fit me perfectly! They have a pretty large selection of hip hugger jeans.

Agreed! So does Levi's.

Banana Republic has a great petite dept, if a bit pricey at times. The only downside is that petites can only be ordered off the internet, not bought in the stores.

I get most of my jeans/pants from New York & Company. I have enough trouble shopping for jeans when height isn't a factor, and their jeans fit me like a dream. They're a perfect length too!

I hate being short, only because it's so hard to buy pants that I don't have to hem!!

Try Victoria's Secret. I'm 5'0 even and I can find pants that actually fit there.

I'm 5'3 and I've always found that Liz Claiborne pants fit me really well as far as pant length.

Rampage has really good hip hugger pants and jeans.

Petite Sophisticate has cute stuff too, although I ain't petite at 5'7", but my co-worker loves it, and she's 5'3"

Thanks

I'm writing down all the suggestions now.

I don't know about hip huggers, but Ralph Lauren's Petites fit really well. Also, INC (a brand by Federated Dept stores - Macy's, Rich's, Burdines...) has petite pants that fit nicely.

Ditto. As for hip-huggers, I've had the best luck with jeans from Express and Gap. And for regular pants, I usually end up getting them from Lerner or Limited. I'm barely 5' tall and with heels (as if I ever wear flats) they fit pretty well.

Limited's jeans are really good, too (when they are actually selling them...they stopped for awhile a couple of years ago and then started up again).

I'm also 5'2" but I have enough issues trying to find pants that fit my waist and butt that I will buy them even if they're too long. I always wear big chunky shoes so the length is even.

I also have a problem with pants being too long. I'm 5'4 but I have a short inseam. Regular pants are too long, but petite/short jeans are usually too short!

I've found that usually Old Navy low rise or ultra low rise in short fit quite well, and are so comfy! Try them!
